This is an on-again-off-again kind of problem. It usually hits me when<br>
it is least convenient, like when I only have shell access to the<br>
machine. Example:<br>
<br>
[alan@agena ~]$ cd /media/My\ Book/<br>
bash: cd: /media/My: No such file or directory<br>
[alan@agena ~]$ cd "/media/My Book/"<br>
bash: cd: /media/My: No such file or directory<br>
[alan@agena ~]$ Gaaah!<br>
bash: Gaaah!: command not found<br>
<br>
What's up with that? Usually it is no trouble, but occasionally, bash<br>
refuses to deal with spaces. I don't even know what to do in this<br>
case.<br>
